Volunteers step up as India sets another record for COVID cases and foreign help doesn't come fast enough

New Delhi — Last week, when 54-year-old Suruchi Singh's coronavirus infection took a turn for the worst and she was struggling to breathe, her family scrambled to get her into a hospital, but there were no beds available. Singh's daughter panicked.  

She reached out online to Gayatri Manchanda, an artist who'd recently started helping people get information on where to find vital medical resources.   "I must have made about 60 calls to different hospitals that night, but no beds were available," Manchanda told CBS News. But she and the other volunteers in her rapidly-evolving network didn't give up. They posted SOS messages on Twitter and continued calling hospitals through the night, until at last there was a breakthrough.
